Activision has announced a later-than-expected release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone's Season 3: April 3rd.
Season 03 is a big moment for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, and we’re taking the time to deliver a great experience starting on April 3.

The announcement, made via the official Call of Duty Twitter account, reveals a slightly delayed launch compared to the March 20th date suggested by the current Battle Pass countdown. More details are promised next week, following Warzone's 5th anniversary.
Anticipation for Season 3 is high, fueled by ongoing teases of the Verdansk map's return. Recent in-game shop pop-ups hinting at "The Verdansk Collection" arriving March 10th further stoke this excitement, suggesting a strong possibility of the map's comeback.
While we await further details next week—likely coinciding with "The Verdansk Collection"—players can still enjoy Season 2's offerings: five new multiplayer maps, the return of Gun Game, fresh weapons and operators, and a thrilling Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover event.
